My little girl is really starting to show her ability to think fast. This is especially so when she is put in a situation whereby she is not comfortable with. She is quite good at talking her way out of things, I feel.

While out one evening she was posed tricky questions by the dad and put in a difficult position. How the questions came about was because the brother wasn't around. Cayden was being punished and kept back in school to finish up his homework hence dad started to test the little one.

Dad : Mei Mei, since Ko Ko is not here so you will have to take his place and stay with Kong Kong.

('Mei Mei' - younger sister in Cantonese)
('Ko Ko' - older brother)
('Kong Kong' - usually to address the maternal grandfather but in the Choo household's case the Paternal Grandfather is also addressed in the same manner hence lots of people get confused thinking my father in law is my father lol)

Anyway, back to the story.

Caitlyn : I don't want.

Dad : Why don't you want to? Ko Ko is not here so you can sleep with Kong Kong, watch TV in his room. Kong Kong has a big TV in his room, you know?

Caitlyn : The TV is spoilt.

Dad : Oh, TV spoilt? Never mind then you sing to Kong Kong so that he can fall asleep, ok?

Caitlyn : Yes. (She fell for the trick. She loves to sing hence didn't give much thought to her answer here.)

Dad : Ok! So what song will you be singing?

Caitlyn : You Raise Me Up.....no..no..no... sing Rock A Bye Baby!

Dad : Can also. So you are ready ya to sleep at Kong Kong's house tonight?

Caitlyn : No, I don't want.

Dad : Why? You said that you can sing to Kong Kong and put him to sleep. Why you don't want?

Caitlyn : I got no voice already!

Dad : ???!!
